Love is so much more than just a romantic feeling shared between a couple
If you just have a look around, you can’t admit it’s everywhere♥️✨
With all that Valentine rush we can easily forget about all those big little things and gestures that fill up our lives everyday. The smiles we share with our friends, the care and support we share with our families, the hugs and boops we share with our pets, the warmth of mundane life shared with our loved ones. And sometimes just a self love which is never less important, to be honest 🩵
Love is so much more than stereotypes shouting from a billboard in a two-week period. Sometimes it’s just a bunch of simple moments you wish to last 💫🤎🌸

Creativity is not always about an extraordinary state of mind, or a special skill set and knowledge. Sometimes you just have to be brave enough to bring your ideas to life.

How often we reject our candid ideas and dreams, as marked “that’s too odd”, in favour of normal casual things?
But who determines the 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺?
And what happens if we push the boundaries of normal?

My biggest wish for the upcoming year is to shorten the distance between these two. Meaning I want to bring the creativity to my daily casual life.
This year I want to let my curiosity lead.

I really miss that joy of genuine experimentation, exploring the world and reimagining the things around. So I’ll try to open up to any crazy, bold, ambitious projects that would cross my mind (or maybe yours?😉) To see where it could bring me🌌

And if that means I have to overcome some confusion and finally show up to the world… well, who cares if you go out in an evening dress, holding cake on a regular Monday morning - if that’s how you tell 𝘠𝘖𝘜𝘙 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮💫

Pastry cooking is not always the easiest process. It requires skills, knowledge, time. It requires devotion, hard work, accuracy. It’s the whole separate world including chemistry, physics.. You should really care for ingredients, but even more - for their processing, showing consistency and precision on every step.

And yes, sometimes it also requires physical strength and persistence. With the deeper immersion pastry cooking will really test all your abilities. Especially if you want to create something new and special, to experiment.
And the tension you uphold throughout the whole process can be challenging.

But what we wanted to show is that beneath all those professional skills you can remain the same person. Because being winsome and pretty in your daily life (let alone in the kitchen) won’t make you less professional. And among all those complicated procedures there’s still time for joy, fun and a little festival 🪩✨🍍🥥🍋‍🟩
